Re: App calledChime Squirrel - Recurring chime / alarm / timer to help you be more productive as an exercise reminder
Well so far I think it may have some significant accessibility issues. I tried to go into the FAQ to see if it says how to make the InApp purchases and I'm just thrown back into the chime settings again. Same for the settings icon. I restarted my phone to see if that would help, but no dice. So I would say that if you want the free part it's probably fine but if you want to expand the features by considering the InApp purchase I think you're out of luck.

I found that if I used the pass-through gesture and then a single one-finger tap then I could access most of the app. The pass-through gesture is a single-finger, double tap and hold.

That hasn’t worked for me yet although I’ve tried. But I did find that it works perfectly on my iPad mini. rEally odd.

That doesn't work for me either. Double tap and hold on any of the menus does nothing. I will see if my wife can do this tomorrow without voiceover. Actually, that would be today in that it is after midnight.

It’s hard to avoid these days, as computer work predominates, and most also spend many hours each week driving to and from work. Mounting research now suggests that sitting in and of itself is an independent risk factor for poor health and premature death—even if you exercise regularly. Dr. Joan Vernikos, former director of NASA’s Life Sciences Division and author of Sitting Kills, Moving Heals, presents a simple yet powerful scientific explanation for why sitting has such a dramatic impact on your health, and
